I also got very similar results.
On the other hand, initially I was receiving sigsegv's whenever I wanted to try to run an aggregate function. gdb was telling that this was happening somewhere in nodeAgg.c at ExecInitAgg. While trying to find the reason, I had to reboot my computer at some point, after the reboot the sigsegv's went away. I want to look into this and find the reason, I think I have missed something here. Any thoughts about why this would happen?
I found a few bugs, that I fixed. There was a issue with empty sets. Other issues I didn't find.
